I wasn't quite sure if I was going to be skilled enough to use this Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Roll-On Wax as a first time waxer, but I found it surprisingly easier than anticipated! I started with a small test strip on my leg since I was a bit nervous of how painful it may be. The directions are easy enough. First, you need to prepare the roll-on applicator for microwaving, which I found to be easy. Be sure you start out at around 15 seconds and if it's not hot enough, you can put it in longer. Because microwave power varies, you need to be sure you aren't making the wax too hot. (You'll know it's too hot if it's really liquid-y or bubbles.) I'd recommend using a dish towel to remove it from the microwave, just in case.
When it was warm enough, I kneaded the wax in the applicator. When I was ready to begin, I rolled the sugar wax onto one of the strips to test that it's ready. (If it's running off of the strip, it's too hot. If it's not liquid enough, throw it in the microwave for 5 more seconds.) I decided to try it on my leg first, so I rolled the wax applicator in the direction of a small patch of hair to make a thin, transparent layer on my skin. Then, very quickly, I smoothed the wax strip over the wax. (Remember, these are washable and reusable, so don't throw them away!) Pulling my skin taut, I pulled the strip off in the opposite direction of the hair quickly like a band-aid. I consider myself a wimp when it comes to waxing, but this wasn't so bad! It took me about 15 minutes to get the hang of it and wax both legs, but they felt really smooth when I was done. I'm hoping to be able to do this faster next time. To finish, I washed away the residue with warm water and patted my skin dry. I didn't have any irritation, but they recommend massaging the skin or applying a cold, wet cloth to calm skin if needed.
I plan on trying it on my underarms next, now that I've gotten a little practice with it. I found this roll-on wax to be fairly easy to use with a little practice and was really happy with the results. I had heard that many sugar waxes give mediocre results, but my legs looked and felt great after using Brazilian Spa Clay Roll-On Wax. I'll definitely be using it again and recommending it to friends for summer.
